Coronavirus death toll crosses 100000 but some say the actual number could be much higher. To dead than 25 missing after a storm hits france and italy sweeping away houses and roads. Hello donald trump says the next few days will be the real test but pledged to finish his president ial Election Campaign the way it started he made the comments in a new video posted from the Walter Reed Medical Center thats where hes being treated for a coronavirus President Trump also said he was starting to feel much better and that he moved to the Medical Center for treatment because he didnt want to stay locked up in the white house this follows a period of mixed messages though earlier the president s doctor sean conley he had said that trump was doing very well and had been fever free for 24 hours but minutes after that. An official close to trump said some of his vital signs over the past 24 hours have been very concerning and that the next 48 hours are going to be critical meanwhile Senate Republicans have canceled all legislative work until october the 19th as the virus sweeps through the partys ranks mike hanna begins our coverage from the Walter Reed Medical Center in bethesda. The entrance to the Walter Reed Medical Center is cordoned off a small group of the president s supporters standing vigil outside in midmorning a full length of doctors and nurses appeared to give a briefing on the president s condition. The general prognosis was highly positive but a statement by the president s personal physician raises questions about the timeline of diagnosis just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week of code in a particular day some to 10 of the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness another of the consulting physician said the experimental antibody cocktail regeneration was administered 48 hours ago were working very closely with the company to monitor him the statements all to the timeline substantially placing initial diagnosis on wednesday and saying the dose suffer a general was administered 24 hours earlier than the white house said it was in response to calls for clarity the president s personal physician has issued a statement saying and i quote i incorrectly used the term 72 hours and stood off day 3 and 48 hours instead of day 2 with regards to his diagnosis and the administration of the policy clonal antibody therapy he continues the president was 1st diagnosed with coke at 19 on the evening of thursday october the 1st and had received regenerations antibody cocktail on friday october the 2nd. Another issue of contention concerns what appears to be a lack of transparency in the medical briefing for example we were not told what type of feeder the president had how high did it go we were not told with any clearly whether or not he in fact was or was not the recipient of supplemental oxygen ha the doctors rosy prognosis was undercut by the president s chief of staff mark meadows told reporters trumps vital signs in the past 24 hours have been disturbing and the next 48 hours of treatment are critical there are questions too about. The testing protocols. A week ago this gathering took place in the rose garden to announce President Trumps nomination for the vacant seat on the Supreme Court at least 8 people who attended have now returned positive tests for covert including 2 senators the white house protocol for such gatherings is to administer and teach and tests which return results in 15 minutes but which a number of studies indicate produce a false result in nearly 50 percent of cases theres going to have to be complete from top to bottom review of the measures that are going to need to be. Moving forward all these questions are being pondered another tweet from the hospital ward d prays for the hospital staff or described as amazing the supporters at least apparently prepared to accept the president s words and the doctors diagnosis at face value mike hanna aljazeera but thats. So as i mentioned in the past hour trump released a new video on twitter about his condition take a look at what he had to say well i feel much better now working hard to get me all the way back i have to be back because we still have to make America Great again weve done an awfully good job of that but we still have steps to go and we have to finish that job and ill be back i think ill be back soon and i would vote to finishing up the campaign the way it was started in the way weve been doing the kind of numbers that weve been doing weve been so proud of it but this was something that happened and its happened to millions of people all of the world and im fighting for them not just in the u. S. Im fighting for them all over the world were going to be this coronavirus or whatever you want to call it it would be that soundly so many things have happened if you look at the therapeutics which im taking right now some of them and others are coming out soon that are looking like frankly the miracles if you want to know the truth there are miracles people criticize me when i say that we have things happening that look like theyre miracles coming down from god so i just want to tell you that im starting to feel good. You dont know over the next period of a few days i guess thats the real test so well be seeing what happens over those next couple next couple of days i just want to be so that in court for all of the support ive seen whether its on television or reading about it. I most of all appreciate whats been said by the American People by almost a bi partisan consensus of American People beautiful thing to see and have very much appreciated and i wont forget it promise you that i also want to so that was trump in his video that he released on twitter just about an hour ago lets bring in alan fischer hes joining us from outside the walter reed medical. Medical center in the past marilyn so what are we to make of that video alan and any reaction from the supporters behind you on his video. But very few of them seen it theyre not really paying much attention to social media at the moment you can see that theyve actually been moved across from the front of the hospital to this side of the street and thats because they were making a great deal of noise and the police went in just to remind them because there was more than 200 there that this was a hospital there were people trying to rest and recover from very serious injuries so the crowd moved over here that has been quieter but just looking around there are very very few of them actually Wearing Masks you would think after what happened to the president that is something that would be uppermost in their minds the problem that the white house has when it comes to crisis communication the far surely is one story one speaker and what the white house has done over the last 24 hours has given a very confused contradictory and incomplete narrative we heard that the the doctor come out and see it was 72 hours since donald trump was diagnosed later clarified that to say that when he said 72 hours you actually meant 3 days but if his initial timeline was to be believed and theres no reason why i shouldnt because hes a doctor and that theyre meant to be precise about these things that would suggest that the president was diagnosed with covered on wednesday or certainly showed the symptoms of covert on wednesday that his go implications because on wednesday and thursday held fundraising events and also on wednesday held a rally that means that he traveled with a lot of people came in contact with a lot of people that means that could be a spreading event and then there is the idea of when he started taking care of putin so the white house really hasnt got to grips with explaining when the president last was tested negative when he. First tested positive when he was 1st administered the drugs those are questions that have to be answered for a number of reasons and not just because hes the president of the United States so people across the country deserve the full facts about the man that they elected to office theres also concern ive got to tell you among those who actually work in the white house because they see that clearly since the event last saturday a number of senior people and the Republican Party and a number of people who work in the white house have tested positive for coverage and yet theyve had no instructions no direction theres been no email sent to let them know that there is this problem and what new testing protocols may be in place this is not a place to just watch monday to friday there will be people in there we can a lot more people going back 1st thing on monday and theyll be concerned concerned for themselves and concerned for their families one interesting note joe bidens campaign highs and the last said that they will be fully transparent when the candidate joe biden has a test they will let the public know that hes had the test and he will release the results joe biden was tested at least twice on friday hes been tested again today that is something that is going to happen a lot more regularly because that is can say that the president when he was on the stage on tuesday may not have been showing the symptoms but might have been carrying the virus ok allan thank you very much for that update from both a star in maryland lets now bring in p. J. Crowley hes a former White House Deputy press secretary hes joining us from alexandria in virginia thanks for speaking to us so im going to use alans words here confused contradictory and incomplete messages coming out of the white house why do you think that is. Well in fairness i think go 1st its a very complex crisis you not only have the president ill thats a big deal with it of itself and you have that concern cascading crisis given that the number of people who attended that event just a week ago you know the announcement of the Supreme Court justice appointment are now themselves coming down with with common 1000 and this is an issue that the white house was already on the defensive at the debate on tuesday night you know the president mocked joe biden for not for wearing the largest mask you never seen you know his his team in the audience did not wear a mask themselves and so clearly youve got a white house that has not been following you know the old guidelines that have been set forward by the c. D. C. Which which the process is responsible how important is it at this point for the white house to be completely transparent and do you think this is going to be possible when critics say well this white house has a bit of a credibility problem. This white house has a tremendous credibility problem and not only on this issue but on a wide range of issues look the timing of this is very you know opportune for the white house 30 days before the election everyone is sensitive about what they say. But i think you have a white house that has remind to have a lead on the president s tweets and the president s rallies you dont have a Seasoned Team behind the president here we are when youre 4 by this stage in almost any administration he will be moving forward on all cylinders but youre on your for the chief of staff your 4th press secretary you know this is a. White house staff that the president does not trust significantly all of these things are compounding a very differently difficult situation and we saw in that video that the president released just about an hour ago he was looking forward to getting back on the campaign trail and this comes of course 4 weeks before the u. S. Election where he wanted the conversation to be about the economy one of his strong points or law and order thats another topic that he that he raises but now its all about coronavirus this doesnt bode very well for the president and is he going to be able to change the conversation well i think that was a very useful bit you know by the president i think hes beginning the process of trying to get on top of the crisis but youre absolutely right. You know the coronavirus was going to be the dominating issue for the campaign anyway. And as long as the president is on the on the shelf and on the mend a matter of days you know this actually him or stem from talking about almost anything else all right well leave it there we thank you very much p. J. Crowley for speaking to us thank you. It.

Many of the People Living in the villages and the town center of terror attacks have moved to where we are im right now in the city center town center and just a few always ago i discussed if i visit a school if there was a way this place people were sleeping for the last couple of days they there are no places that they can stay thats why most of the public buildings are for that into this place 2345 families sharing one room or one floor sharing one bathroom and they are saying that they didnt have anything with them except for their close own sleepers or shoes and they are waiting to go back when the attacks finished but i have to say that people are very emotional here because they say they are attacked in their own soil from their own soil and they say they have no problem with the armenian people of course it will be it will it will take some time to see how this conflict is going to shape up sudans Transitional Government has signed a peace deal with rebel groups at a ceremony in south sudans capital juba the deal was agreed in august and aims to end decades of fighting thats left millions displaced and hundreds of thousands of people dead but not all armed groups have signed up have a morgan has been watching developments from the sudanese capital hard to. This signing ceremony today that is happening in the south sudanese capital juba includes various armed groups and the sudanese revolution Front Coalition there are 2 major groups that are not signatories to this deal we have the Sudan LiberationSudan Peoples Liberation Movement led by abbott as these who have strongholds in the Southern States of South Kordofan and Blue Nile State now he has signed a declaration of principle with the Transitional Government last month this paves way for negotiations for the start of negotiations between the as he said hello and the Transitional Government but the dates for that are yet to be set now he has made many major demands that has already been and composed in that declination of principles one of them being separating states state affairs from religious affairs saying that the country should be secular and that they should have the right to selfdetermination or referendum if you like the other group is the sudans Liberation Movement led by abdulahad who is currently in france but has strongholds in the Central Darfur region now he has described the negotiations of this deal that is currently being signed and the process as similar to the previous process as civil and similar to previous deals that have been signed between the previous government that was overthrown in 2019 april 29th team and various other groups he says that this does not guarantee peace in sudan and that it does not address the root causes of conflict so in light of the absence of these 2 major groups it doesnt look like this peace deal is comprehensive but the sudanese Transitional Government and those who have signed it are celebrating it saying that it blames way for economic and political stability.

It is quite clear that you know the kind of infection that is operating in india its not quite secure because of our Demographic Dividend we have a pretty large young population in the country so that the number of super who are infected quite severely limited like many other countries and thats also the one of the reasons why we need goal or what that it delayed in india compared to many others to leave it to the population with the old median age compared to many other countries. Is a clear reason why the number of itself is quite low compared to most other countries also one of the things that the government should have done right from the beginning is to really wrap up the testing of all the people you know but the testing has been lagging quite a bit by from the beginning and i think its clear from many of the top and recently one of the surveys by the countrys top medical body i. C. M.
